Electromagnetic interference carbon black

NR composites were prepared containing both carbon black and graphene. Dielectric and microwave absorption and reflection were characterized to access electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness. Graphene was shown to be effective as a second filler in NR. ... 

Electrical Conductivity. This quality is important to bleed off static charge and to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) (Sec. 5.9). It can be produced by adding carbon black, graphite, and especially metallic fillers (Table 5.23). This requires particle-to-particle contact, so flakes are more efficient than simple powders, and fibers are most efficient of all (Table 5.24).

Carbon black has been used for the reinforcement of polymers, mainly for reinforcing elastomer and for UV protection, electromagnetic interference shielding, and... 

Electromagnetic/radio-frequency interference shielding materials have to meet much lower demands in terms of overall electrical conductivity (typically 4-5 orders of magnitude lower than a silver-flake-filled adhesive). This means that cheaper conductive fillers can be employed, for example, silver-coated copper flake, nickel flake, and carbon black. Typically the adhesive has to form a compliant joint between two mating surfaces, and hence room temperature vulcanizing or heat-cure silicone is often a convenient choice of matrix material. 

A new specialty use for carbon black is in photocopier toner. Carbon black is also used in batteries, electrodes, and electromagnetic interference shields.
